Office on North Main Street. On Sunbay niorriing'last a shooting scrap occured on the Indian Reserve, Main Street, when Dornonic Jack was shot in the shoulder by his son, Basil .Tack, an Indian youth of about 21 -years of age. The shooting -which was done with a .44 Colts revolver, is supposedly the culmination ot a heavy drinking bout. -Mrs. Jack who was in their company at the time-of the assult, ran for assistance to the house of Mr. Wyles on Main Street, anel he immediately proceeded to the scene of action and found the wounded Indian lying on the ground covered with blood. The police officials and Dr. White were hastily .summoned hut on their arrival werie unable to find the victim or his assailant. -A search, .however, located. Dominic in ,the bed of Ellis Creek^ahel he was at once eonveyed to the iiospitid ..w.here Ire .was .atteneled to by Doctor White. Latest accounts from the hospital record his .progress as satisfactory. The sca-ch instituted by the police for his assailant, throughout Sunday anel Monday was of no avail anel diligent search is still -being conducted both by .the local and Provincial Police. He is supposeel to be lyitiglo.w in the woods surrounding the reserve and his capture is expecteel to be announced at any time.���������Penticton Herald.

(Continued-from last week.) Immediately to the south of the International _Bound������ry. line.fJie. An-, archist series is cover-eel by a small area Teriary rocks consisting of conglomerate, sandstone, shale, anel some volcanic material. These rocks are probably Oligocene in age and may be correlated with the rocks of the interior Teriary lake basins of British Columbia. ORE DEPOSITS Considerable prospecting and ele- velopment have been elone within the last fifteen years on the lode desposits of Kruger mountain on both sides of the International Boundary, but more especially on the United States side. A detailed description of the deposits on the south side of the line is given by J. B. Umpleby in Bulletin No. 5, Part 11, of the Washington Geological Survey. These deposits are of two kinds, namely, disseminated copper- deposits, anil vein deposits carrying gold as the principal valuable metal. The latter are the more important and are responsible for the whole lode metal production of the district. The ore deposits on the Canadian side are mainly of the first type mentioned, narhely, disseminted eleposits carrying copper with some gold. These are situated in close proximity to the granodiorite anel are probably genetically connected with it. The examination of these eleposits was confined to a limited area covereel by a group of claims owned by the Gold Dust Mining Comany anil the Dividend-Lakeview Mining Comany. Continued on Pokc Two At the time of* going to press, Europe faces the gravest situation since the dttys of Napoleon. Four Powers of the first magnitude are in the throes of conflict. Counsels of peace are cast to the winds; the Hague Treaty has been openly disregarded by its signatoriesa-nd the neutrality of Belgium lias been violated for the first time since 1839. The events of the past week in the Balkans have been overshadowed by the greater struggle in the central Europe. The most meagre reports indicate the war has developed into a series of raids ��������� and represals between Russia, Germany and Fx*ance on land and into a triangular naval struggle in the North Sea between the German navy and the fleets of Ensr- land arid France.- All Europe is vertually under martial law. Mobilization and concentration of troops are general. SUMMARY OF". WAR BULLETIN AugustSth United States anel Turkey have formally declared their neutrality, while Japan has announceel her intentions' of living up with her alliance with, England. War fever- inns higher.- The Colonial forces are worked up to. a tremenelous pitch eif enthusiasm,' and the German embassy in London, has been stormed. ....Sweelen ha*- deciderl -to east.in- her lot with Great Britain and France, if. unable to remain neutral. In England the prices fit* provisions' have doubled. President Wilson has ' offered his good offices to belligerents I August 6th Germany has formally declared war against Belgium intimating that German troops must pass through Belgium territory if they have to h'_;ht their way. German airships hover- over Brussels. French troops have joined Belgium. The Belgiuns have annihilated two German regiments and two platoons of German cavalry on the frontier. United States will mobilize available forces immediately. 21,000 Canadian troops are massed at Quebec. King George has called for volunters for the army. Twenty-one alleged spies have been; arrested at Portsmouth. August 3rd The Germans invaded French territory without first declaring war, thereby violating the Hague Treaty to which both parties are signatories! An engagenientbetween the Russian anel German fleets in the Baltic re- sulteei -i i j^-the*--"deiea't'-Vbi'-'-Zhe Russians who took refuge in' the Giilf of Finland. Germany invaded Belgium upon refusal of the later to allow the free passage of German -troops through Belgium territory. Sir Edward Grey announced that England woulel protect French anel Belgiun interests in the North Sea. August 4th Great Britain mobilizes her troops but does not declare herself belligerent. Britain reassures France of her protection and orders Germany out of Belgium. This a virtual declaration of war. Later Britain declares war against Germany. War now officially exists between Austria and Germany on one side and Russia, Servia anel Montenegro on the other. Lord Kitchener is made War Lord. A comparison of the war strength of Austria, Germany, Italy, Russia, France, Servia and Gritain Britain, the nations which are involved in the. latest European muddle, shows that Russia's war strength on the land is -he-greatest. That country.has 5,500,- 000 men its army and as many more men available, for duty but unorganized. Germany is next in strength with an army of 5,200,000 and only 1,000,000 additional available in case of need. Then come France with 4,000,000* Austria with 2,000,000; Italy with 1,200,000; Great Britain with 73',000, and Servia with 240,000. However, the Great Britiin navy easily outclasses all the others, both in number of men and in vessels. The personnel of the British navy is almost twice that of Germany, which is second. France and Russia trail Germany, closely followed by Italy anel Austria Hungary. Of course Servia has no navv.

Fraser-. The deceased was well known in this locality, having resided at intervals during the past ten years. Mr. McKinnon was a native of Nova Scotia, anel prior to his coming west resieleel in the Maritime Province'-, where he bnre arms during tho Fenian Raids. The funeral which took place Sunday was marked by very a large attendance and beautiful floral tributes, testifying the esteem in which the deceased was held. Services at the house anel grave were conducted by Rev. Father Chionel of Grand Forks. The pall bearers were Dan McKinnon, Con McKinnon, Jack Fraser; J. McDougall, R. McDougall and Geo. Gilbert. The deceased is survived by wife and three children, Dan, Con and Mrs. J. Fraser, all of Hedley. WIRELESS AND MINING The annual report of the minister of mines just published shows ii total mineral production for 1913 of $30,296,308, the second highest in the history of the* province, 1912 having been a recoiel year with $33,- 440,800. Juelgeel by districts anel divisions there are some interesting increases in the output of mineral products. East Ivootenay for 1913 shows $5,947,935, as compared - with $5,- 723,000 in 1912; West Kootenay,-19, - 12, $G,165,25.->, 1913 $7,092,107. ��������� In the Ainswoi-th mining division the production was $627,150 for 1913, as against $371,760 in 1912. Slocan and Slocan City showed $2,- 258,309 compared with $1,951,315 in 1912. Nelson's figures were $863,963 for 1913/ against $581,700 in 1912, while Trail creek also showed an increase, its figures being; 1913, $3,- 716,771; 1912, $3,214,751. Production in the Boundary tih?t showed a falling off, the ores being $7,925,336 for 1913, 716,406 for 1912. Production figures of lode ruines for the year were: Gold, $5,627,490; silver. $1,96S,609; lead, $5,175,832; copper, $7,094,480; and zinc, $324,- ���������421. ��������� Coal to the value .of $7,481,190 was produced during the year and coke valued at $1,716,270. dis- fig- $8,~ CREDITORS NOTICE The business of Tuck, Chinese res- tauranter, having sold out, creditors of the proprietor are hereby notified to raeetin the B.C.

The miracle of wireless telegraphy - which had already conquerecl the air and water-, now penetrates the bow:els of the earth. German scientists by this all prevailing medium have not only located subterranean spring and ore deposits, but ascertained their elepths. Moreover, miners working 1000 feet below the surface have received wire- loss messages from a point a mile and a half away on the same level. There is is an evident future, of immense value to the mining industry in this eliscovery, for mineral wealth .discoverable by no other means will be revealed to man. And with wireless equipment in mine pits, communication with entombeel miners will be possible in case of disaster anel the work of rescue made easier, besides cheering the prisoners with messages from home and friends. The discoverery means not a little to British Columbia where only a tithe of its hidden treasures have yet been revealed.���������Province. METEOROLOGICAL.

But the great majority' are in every way competent and effective. The Irish Nationalist army, of more recent oi igin, is drawn from four provinces insteael of one,, anel is already numerically larger than the Ulster l'nice. These veiluuiccrs have but recently begun training, anel many of the units have had no drill worth mentioning, but il is said that many thousands of them have served in the regular army, and Mr.. .1. H. Green is enthusiastic in her praise of their quality. It is admitted that the Ulster example caused them to organi/.:! and we may- expect that dining the Home Rule armistice they would not allow the Covenanters to excel them iu Imperial patriotism, devotion and courage. So it may ivollbc thatil'agrcat war comes Riilain may congratulate lu*i-M-*lf over tin- pnlitie.-il accicle'iM whii-h causeil more than 200.000 Irish volunteers to undergo through military training at an opportune time. THE-;STRIKE-AVERTED Yesterday .the. . travelling, public drew a. long breath of relief anil for the first time iu - three weeks, gave its undivided attention to the war news. In the crisis the country at large can baldly-be so. thankful for the spirit of compromise which enabled the representatives of both parties to avert the impending.trouble. Had the tinffic been tied up for even a short period,,it would have been the last calamity which the business world could suffer. Financial strin gency. war and iniliifeient crops in the Middle West' all point toward a hard winter but a strike of such magnitude as the one threatened would have meant not '-bad business" merely but business paialysis. WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN If the Canadian aid bill, introduced in 1912, had become law three of the strongest battleship-, that science ci'iili! device or money could bvy. paid for b> the people of Canada, would at this lime have been launched and lying in some Biilisb elock nearly really fen- sea. Among the Dieaeluoughts gathered at Spitbead and reviewed by the King a few elays ago, and now doubtless part of the fleet which put out to sea under sealed orders when the 'European' crisis was imminent, was Hi.s Majesty's New Zealand ship New Zealand, a battle cruiser of 28-knot -speed, of 1S.S00 tons displacement, with engines of 4.4,000 horse-power, and a primary armament of eigb<S 12-ineb guns. This ship was completed in .1912 and is part of the Imperial navy. Australia hael a similar ship built in. Great Britain at the same time. The battle cruiser Australia is a part of the Australian fleet unit. If Great Brit lin is now compelled to fight this ship woulel elo better- service to the Empire, and oonsecjuently to Australia, on the European coast than in -the -Southern Seas. ��������� If Great Britain should he engaged : this month in a life and death struggle the contest will not be in the Pacific or the South' Seas, but on the continent of Europe and in the neighboring waters. Shoulel .Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa take part they will send their- soldiers to ���������Europe. Canada cannot now contribute battleseips for this war. But if Canadian help is needed it will be freely olfereel. anel no man who may raise the eprestion that Canadians shoulel refuse to concern themselves in the fate of the Mother Country need expect a favor-able hearing.

Dalton, Manager GEOLODICAL SURVEY WORK THE IRISH VOLUNTEERS The suspension of Home Rule legislation will continue while the European crisis remains. If Britain shoulel be forceel into war the Irish epies- tion will remain unsettleel until the struggle is over. The Ulster Volunteers, who have been preparing for another conflict, are not likely to allow their military training to go to waste. They have sworn to maintain Imperial rule, in Ulster, anel it will probably be found that they are ready to defend the British Empire elsewhere. We risk the preeliction that if Great Britain shall find it necessary to call for volunteers for a European war, among the first and most eager to respond will be tens of thousands of Ulster Covenanters, already well trained anel equipped. The Ulster volunteer army numbers 100,000, and must include many who Continued from I'affc One These claims are situated on the eastern slope of Kruger Mountain about one mile north of the International Boundary line, and at an elevation ranging from BOO to 1100 feet above Osoyoos lake. . . ':: The country rocks of this area include greenstones, greed, schists, and lenses of limestone. The ore deposits are restricted to ��������� the limestone, ��������� and are situated at lio great distance from the contact of the granodiorite. They appear to be genetically connected with the granodiorite and have all the characteristics of deposits of contact metamorphic .origin. The gangue of the ores is the limestone which, however, has usually been .-altered to a lime-silicate, rock containing, epidote, calcite, pyroxene, and horneblende. The metallic' minerals are pyrite and pyrrhotite, chal- copyrite," arsenopyrite, and magnetite. Of these, pyrite and. pyirhotite are present in all or most of the deposits; arsenopyrite is abundant in the Dividend workings; while, ehalcopyrite is most plentiful in the. works of the Lakeview. The deposits contain golel and copper as the chief valuable metal, and since the golel content is higher on the Oivielend than the other- claims it seems likely that, as in all- jacent districts, the gold is associated with the arsenopyrite. As in most deposits of this origin the ore bodies have no well defined boundaries, but pass by a gradual transition into low grade ore and out into barren rock. So for us present development has gone, workable ore appears to be confined to the altered limestone so that the. direction of the ore-shoots should be controlled by the elip anel strike of the limestone. Faulting, however, has taken place subsequent to the disposition of the ore, anel in the progress of development. This fact should constantly be borne in mind, and the direction anel displacement of such faults carefully studied. Oxidatiod has in general not gone deeper than a few feet, producing a capping of limonite anel carbonates from which free gold can often be ob- tained by panning. On the Lakeview claim, however, oxidation of the ore is apparent to a elepth of 100 feet below the surface. Continued, next week tz?

Hai.i.ibukton TwKDnu_. April Kith. 1914. 21-10 ���������PP" Subscribe for the Gazette jgjlpiiiPliili_3P Let the Buyer Beware FOli centuries the principle of "Let the Buyer Beware" ���������-"Caveat Emptor"���������ruled the world of business. In f_ict, it was not a principle���������but rather a lack of principle���������yet it held sway everywhere until a decade or two ago. When a merchant quoted a price, he made it high enough to stand almost unlimited whittling, and yet be profitable-���������to him. When he spoke of quality, his fingers were crossed, and you were not expected to believe him ���������-���������unless you wanted to very badly. .-, Buying was a-haggle���������unless you Were a hardened haggler you came out second best in every deal "Caveat Emptor"���������it was up to you. There was no confidence between buyer and seller. Business���������once an aggregation of deals���������has "become the living embodiment of ideals^ ' Advertising has helped, because Advertising creates confidence in the Buyer and proves theseller's confidence In his wares. Confidence has eliminated the haggle. 'You see business confidence is a good deal like capital, in that it accumulates like savings. The grocery- consumer's confidence in a town will be on deposit chiefly with a few capable square grocers; and. dry-goods confidence, jewelry confidence, and so forth, are massed in the same way. The retail merchant doesn't lock this confidence in his safe. He deposits it in turn with the wholesaler, who passes it on to the manufacturer. And the manufacturer, to make the circle complete, must give confidence to the consumer. The manufacturer with goods to sell must draw upon all these reserves of confidence. He must demonstrate his own fairness in dealing, his integrity in maintaining quality, his willingness to put principle before profit. Advertising is the means through which the manufacturer makes this demonstration to you. Advertising has given personality to commodities, so that you now recognize your."friends" among soap, tea, or collars, as readily as you recognize your human acquaintances. Advertising fathered the "money back" principle, and has made buying a pleasure instead of a duel of wits. f Advertising has spread the one-price policy-^���������erased "Caveat Emptor" from the language of business, and made buying safe to entrust to a child. Advice regarding your advertising problems is available through any recognized Canadian advertising agency, or through the Secretary of the Canadian Press Association^ Room 503 ���������������������������-��������� Lumsden pldg., Toronto. Enquiry involves no obligation on your part���������write if interested. Biyi^iiia^^
